Hi @Tarzan5545,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

I understand you want to set up your HP ENVY Pro 6458 printer on an Apple iPad Air 13-inch (2024) without using a computer. Let’s go through a few steps to get it connected and ready to print.

Prepare the printer
Turn on the printer and make sure it is in a ready state with paper loaded and ink installed.
Keep the printer close to your Wi-Fi router during setup.

Reset the printer’s wireless setup mode
On the printer, press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel (X) button together for 5 seconds.
The blue wireless light should blink, indicating the printer is ready for setup.

Connect the iPad to Wi-Fi
On your iPad, open Settings > Wi-Fi and connect to your home Wi-Fi network.
Make sure this is the same network you want the printer to use.

Install the HP Smart app on the iPad
Open the App Store on the iPad and search for “HP Smart.”
Download and install the app, then open it.

Add the printer in HP Smart
In the HP Smart app, tap the plus (+) sign or “Set up a new printer.”
Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.

Allow required permissions
When prompted, allow Bluetooth, local network, and notifications.
These permissions are required for the printer to be discovered and configured.

Complete alignment (if prompted)
If the app asks to print an alignment page, allow it to print and scan if required.
This ensures proper print quality and completes setup.

Test printing from the iPad
Open a photo or document on the iPad and tap Share > Print.
Select your HP ENVY Pro 6458 and confirm the printer responds correctly.

I hope this helps.
